Conditions affecting the circulatory system and blood vessels are referred to as cardiovascular diseases that include strokes and heart attacks. Internet of Things (IoT) technologies monitor health metrics, identify irregularities and enable remote patient care, resulting in earlier intervention and more individualized therapy. This research aims to establish an efficient cardiovascular disease prediction model through Artificial intelligence (AI)-driven IoT technology.

Plasma and serum biochemical markers proposed for cognitive decline of degenerative (Alzheimer's disease, AD) or vascular origin and predementia syndromes (mild cognitive impairment and other related entities) are based on pathophysiologic processes such as lipoprotein metabolism (total cholesterol, apolipoprotein E, 24S-hydroxy-cholesterol), and vascular disease (homocysteine, lipoprotein(a)); SP formation (amyloid beta(Abeta)-protein, Abeta autoantibodies, platelet APP isoforms), oxidative stress (isoprostanes, vitamin E), and inflammation (cytokines). This review will focus on the current knowledge on circulating serum and plasma biomarkers of cognitive decline and dementia that are linked to cholesterol homeostasis and lipoprotein abnormalities, senile plaque formation and amyloid precursor protein (APP) metabolism, oxidative stress, and inflammatory reactions. Special emphasis will, however, be placed on biomarkers related to lipoprotein metabolism and vascular disease.
